Intel 536 problem on Slackware 12.0.
 

I downloaded intel536 driver intel-536EP-2.56.76.0_2008_11_15.tar.bz2, unpacked, cd into directory and wrote next command:

make clean

then i wrote:

make 536

but there is an error. Here it is:

Failed to build driver



I installed again kernel source and kernel headers packages but there is an error again.
Can anyone help me or give me some usefull link?

Can anyone help? i was ssearching this forum but can't find answer.

You try to compile a 2008_11_15 version on a relatively old system.
Try to download an older version.
12.0 was released the Sun Jul 1 22:30:42 CDT 2007

I will try and tell you what happen. thnx

Just one question before installing driver: Does I have to do any patch to kernel?

I found somewhere on my hard old version of driver intel-536EP-2.56.76.0_23_02_2007.tgz. First and second steps now works without errors (commands make clean and make 536). But where I type:

make install

it gives me next output:

rm -f /etc/hamregistry.bin
bash Intel536_inst
running kernel 2.6.21.5-smp
installing hamregistry, used for persistant storage
installing Intel536 driver
unknown distribution - no boot scripts have been installed
make: *** [install] Error 1

I installed driver and now works fine. Problem was script Intel536_inst but I took few changes on it and then installed driver. Thnx a lot.
